The project to publish books by foreign compatriots under the «Uly Dala» series, carried out in collaboration with the Union of Writers of Kazakhstan, aims to introduce readers to the finest works and creativity of Kazakh writers living abroad. To achieve this goal, a special competition was organized, with the formation of a jury comprising qualified specialists and writers. Out of the 10 books carefully selected by the jury, each will be presented to readers in the initial release. These works were authored by Kazakh writers from Mongolia, Russia, Uzbekistan, and China, and have not been previously published in Kazakhstan. The "Uly Dala" series encompasses various literary genres, including poetry, fiction, historical studies, memoirs, and literary translations.
